19.7.1  External memory interface signals
The following tables list the signals that are typically used to interface NAND Flash memory.
Note: The prefix “N” identifies the signals which are active low.
8-bit NAND Flash memory
 
Theoretically, there is no capacity limitation as the FMC can manage as many address 
cycles as needed.
Memory hold 
Number of clock cycles (HCLK) 
during which the address must be 
held (as well as the data if a write 
access is performed) after the 
command de-assertion 
Read/Write 
AHB clock cycle 
(HCLK) 
1  254 
Memory 
databus high-Z 
Number of clock cycles (HCLK) 
during which the data bus is kept 
in high-Z state after a write 
access has started
Write 
AHB clock cycle 
(HCLK) 
1  255
